Hopefully, the links will pop the class schedules for several CC's. Hope this helps...now IF I can get the monies..hum..tight for two months. I would go to Estrella even if it is a huge long bus ride from one end of rt 41 to the other!!!

At Glendale CC you can split the class into an intro, intermediate and final sections if you want/need to. http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/sch/index.html http://scinfo.sc.maricopa.edu/sis/schedule?CIS&20042&SITE=MAIN http://www.pc.maricopa.edu/cgi/sch/indx.cgi?term=20042 http://www.smc.maricopa.edu/sch/ http://schedule.gc.maricopa.edu/schedule.cgi?CIS&20042&SITE=ALL http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/sch/ Estrella CC has a unique class 'CIS 126DL' .. for linux os.
